re: Barrister style door - Will it bind?

Most likely the doors will have a tendency to bind, it’s the nature of the design. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a barrister case that didn’t bind if not opened with some care. That being said, the ones I’ve seen that were the least problematic with binding had the ends of the hardwood pins in the door rounded. By rounding the end of the dowel it will have less surface area to bind.
